So Much Lotion!

I had stopped in at the mall so that I could pick up some herbal tea from
David’s Teas. While I was walking through the mall I saw the body shop.

Living in dry Edmonton - the dessicant city - I find that I drink a lot more
fluids and my skin gets really dry. On one hand I’ve taken to making my own
iced tea and coffee drinks. On the other hand I need to shop for lotion…

If you have never walked the gauntlet of the perfume department at The Bay, or
if you have never tried to pick your one favorite candy at some jumbo, bulk
candy store then you may not quite understand how it feels to walk into The
Body Shop as a basic dude, uninitiated in the ways of lotions, and laves, and potions.

That said, the store was empty but for the employees, both of whom were great
and helped me find what I wanted. An empty store meant that I didn’t have to
worry about somebody overhearing my stupid questions and thinking I’m a dummy.

After all that, I chose two items and went to the cashier. She rang up the
items and then said, "Today we have a 2 for 1 promotion. You can pick any third
item you’d like for free today!"
